Chapter 125 Emergency Assembly
Chen Cuijuan sprinted in almost a hundred seconds and ran all the way to the commune radio station.
I arrived at the same time as Shen Dahe.
After a while, the phone rang again.
The announcer picked up the phone, and after hearing what was said on the other end, he smiled and handed the phone to Shen Dahe, then stood up and said, "Captain Shen, Aunt Chen, you guys stay here and help me. I'll go out and get some water."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Xiao Li."
"It's okay. It's what I should do."
As soon as Xiao Li left, Chen Cuijuan couldn't wait to grab the phone from her old man, "Hello!"
"mom."
"grandmother!"
Hearing the voices of her daughter and two grandchildren on the other end of the phone, Chen Cuijuan smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. "Okay, okay, everything is fine at home. I miss you. Grandma misses you so much! I wish I could come over right now!"
Shen Dahe: “….”
Chen Cuijuan was reluctant to give the phone to Shen Dahe. It was only after her daughter mentioned it that she reluctantly handed the phone to her man.
"Your dad is next to you. Wait a minute. I'll let him answer the phone."
Shen Dahe took the phone and cleared his throat.
Compared to Chen Cuijuan who happily chatted with them, Shen Dahe was just like most male elders of that era, asking about work and the children's schooling.
The answer is, of course, that everything is fine.
In the end, of course, we cannot escape the topic that we face after we turn eighteen.
Urge marriage!
Shen Guowang was smiling. Anyway, the emperor was far away and the old man was so far away that he couldn't hit him even if he wanted to, so he was just talking nonsense.
"I'm so exhausted from training, who has time to get married? Besides, I'm a soldier now, so of course defending my country is my top priority. We all get married late, Dad, you don't understand!"
Shen Dahe was so angry, "I'm your father, I don't understand!"
Shen Guowang: "So what if I'm the father? My brother-in-law didn't get married until he was 30. Don't you want me to learn from him? I want to get married at 30, too!"
Shen Dahe: “….”
This brat!
Gu Ye: “….” He was inexplicably implicated.
After talking for a while and hanging up the phone, the whole family went to the market to buy New Year's goods.
Although you can usually buy meat at the supply and marketing points in the army, you can also greet Xiao He in advance and ask him to help bring some of the parts you want. There is no shortage of meat in the army.
But you can buy it at the market yourself.
That feeling is completely different!
I bought a piece of pork belly, a pork hind leg, and a chicken.
In addition to these, there are also some fried goods that only appear in the market before the New Year.
Sazi fried dough sticks.
These things make you fat, and you’ll feel sick if you eat too much, but you can’t help but feel greedy when you smell them.
Also, there were a lot of people visiting my house during the New Year, so I bought a little of everything.
Two twisted dough sticks were taken, and Tuantuan and Yuanyuan each put one in their hands.
There were many people at the market, and even if Tuantuan and Yuanyuan wanted to walk downstairs by themselves, Shen Zhiyou didn't dare to and had to let her father and uncle carry her.
Finally, I picked out couplets and window decorations with Gu Pandi.
"The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Let's get up in the morning, clean the house and put it up."
It was the first time for Gu Pandi to buy New Year's goods with her family. She agreed to everything Shen Zhiyou asked her.
The clothes she was wearing were also newly made by Shen Zhiyou for Tuantuan and Yuanyuan years ago.
This year.
Gu Pandi's transformation can truly be described as a complete transformation.
When she first came, she was thin and listless, with dark yellow skin and dry hair. Although she was only in her thirties, she looked more haggard than a woman in her forties.
Now I have been living at home for a year, eating well, sleeping well, having my own job and my own family.
There is more flesh on the face, and the ends of the hair that have grown back after being cut short are black and shiny.
She still speaks gently, but her gentleness is filled with tenacity and upward vitality.
More than ten years younger.
If you don’t know, you would think she is Gu Ye’s sister.
On the way back, I met the Chief of Staff.
With my son.
His son Liang Jun is half a year younger than Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, and is also in the nursery. But unlike those two community bullies, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan, he is not very talkative.
When he saw the nursery teacher who was taking care of him in the nursery, his eyes lit up and he called her in a low voice, "Teacher Gu."
"Junjun, Chief of Staff."
When he heard the voice, Liang Ruping recognized that the woman in front of him was Gu Ye's sister, whom he met at the train station earlier this year.
After a moment of shock, he quickly came back to his senses, smiled and nodded: "Did you just come back from the market?"
Gu Ye and the others also greeted Liang Ruping, "Yes, are you taking the children shopping?"
"Well, the New Year is coming soon, so I went to the supply and marketing point to take a look."
They were all in the same class, and when the adults were greeting each other, Tuantuan, Yuanyuan and Junjun also started chatting together.
It was cold, so no one said much.
After exchanging pleasantries, they went home.
On the way back, Shen Zhiyou thought of Liang Ruping's son and frowned.
Even though he is the son of the chief of staff, the clothes he wears don't fit him well and he is a bit introverted.
I asked my son and found out that it was always his grandmother who came to pick up Liang Jun every time.
That is, Chief of Staff Liang’s country mother.
Tuantuan and Yuanyuan say it was so fierce whenever they think about it.
Once, Liang Jun wet his pants, and his grandmother who came to pick him up took off his pants while scolding him in front of all the parents and children in the nursery.
Shen Zhiyou: “….”
Men's empathy is naturally not as strong as women's.
And most children of this generation go through life this way.
Beating and scolding one's wife and children is not uncommon.
A filial son is born under the stick, and the more you beat a daughter-in-law, the more obedient she becomes.
Shen Zhiyou was almost tired of hearing these words. Every night after dinner when she went out for a walk, she could hear people beating and scolding children.
The people upstairs were beating the child, and the people downstairs pretended they heard nothing and continued to do what they were doing.
She was not a nosy person, but she felt uncomfortable after hearing it, so she tried to go to places with fewer people when taking a walk at night.
It was Liang Ruping who had helped his younger brother and Gu Panditi.
Shen Zhiyou felt a little bit reluctant because his son had such a good relationship with Tuantuan and Yuanyuan.
But she was not familiar with Liang Ruping, so she could only let her son play more with Junjun in the nursery and prevent other children from bullying him.
After returning home, everyone gradually put the matter aside and happily prepared for the New Year.
Just like what Gu Ye said, the same things happen every New Year in the army.
We watched the performance together in the cafeteria and had a reunion dinner after that.
Shen Zhiyou has participated once, but this year there are four more people in the family, so everyone will still celebrate New Year's Eve together with the main group.
Tuantuan and Yuanyuan were so excited watching the performance.
I also met a lot of my friends in the cafeteria.
This is the military base, the safest place in the entire county. Shen Zhiyou and Gu Ye did not detain them and let them go and play with their friends.
After playing all night, on the way back, the two little ones fell asleep in their father and uncle's arms.
With the two little ones around, this New Year was extra lively and joyful, but also extra short.
In the second half of the year, both children will officially go to kindergarten.
As soon as the summer vacation started, Shen Zhiyou no longer sent her two children to daycare. They stayed at home, playing with their mother, reading books, or playing with their friends every day.
When Gu Ye was resting, the family would sometimes go hiking in the back. Shen Zhiyou was afraid of the sun, so Gu Ye and Shen Guowang took their two sons out together.
My own father took me to climb mountains, climb trees, and fish for river shrimps.
It's only mid-June and the two little ones who run outside every day have already gotten several degrees tanned. If it weren't for the recent rainy season, they would have gotten even darker.
Shen Zhiyou looked at her two coal miners. Their teeth were so white when they smiled that it was blinding.
Gu Ye, the father, was very satisfied. "Now he looks more manly. Make it darker!"
Shen Zhiyou didn't even bother to pay attention to him.
Aunt Xia, who has lived here for nearly fifty years, looked at the sky and sighed: "This year's rain is heavier than in previous years."
Shen Zhiyou didn't take it seriously at first, but after half a month, the rain was still intermittent.
The water in the river also rose, preventing people from going to the river.
Gu Ye also came back later and later, went on inspections every day, and started flood drills in advance.
That night, when I was half asleep, a horn suddenly sounded behind me.
The man who was still sleeping soundly just now got up quickly and called Shen Zhiyou up. While changing his clothes, he said to her, "It must be an emergency. I may not be home in the next two days. You guys stay at home and don't worry."
After saying that, he kissed Shen Zhiyou's face, looked at the child again, and strode out.
